These are quick reads, but they give you lots of information that you can use to get you moving towards success an achieving your goals.

The Magic of Clarity

You know what they say, “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” And that’s precisely what we want to avoid. Vague goals will only lead to confusion, lack of motivation, and ultimately, failure. That’s why I’m here to help you set clear goals that will propel you to success.

Strategy #1: Embrace the Power of Visualization

Close your eyes and picture yourself achieving your goal. How does it feel? What does it look like? The more vivid the image, the more motivated you’ll be to make it a reality. Visualization is a powerful tool used by top athletes, CEOs, and even astronauts. If they can do it, so can you!

Strategy #2: Turn Your Goals into a Roadmap

Break down your goal into smaller, manageable milestones. This will not only make your goal seem less daunting but also give you a clear path to follow. Celebrate each milestone you achieve, and before you know it, you’ll have reached your ultimate goal.

Strategy #3: Surround Yourself with Positivity

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So, choose wisely! Surround yourself with people who believe in you and support your goals. They’ll be there to cheer you on when times get tough and celebrate your victories with you.

Don’t Wait for “Someday”

It’s easy to put off your goals and dreams, waiting for the perfect moment to take action. But guess what? There’s no time like the present! So, don’t wait for “someday” to achieve your goals. Start now, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish.

Remember, the sky’s the limit when it comes to your potential. With the right mindset, clear goals, and a little help from Setting Clear Goals, you’ll be unstoppable. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to unleash your inner executive and make your dreams a reality!

Setting Effective Daily Goals Quickly

2023-01-11 ~ adminlife

You find it easy to set exciting goals, but you lose track along the way to achieving them. You want to lose weight, or get a promotion but even though you really want to achieve these goals, you find yourself not being successful and end up back where you started. Your key to success may be setting daily goals.

Keep your long-term goals but guide yourself to your destination by using short-term goals. There are many benefits to daily goals that you can use.

If you would like to listen to these types of articles, you can visit my podcasts at

These are short, usually under 5 minutes but they can enable you to listen to confidence and motivation advice and tips while driving or relaxing.

The benefits of daily goals

They can keep you focused. With your daily responsibilities, it is easy for any personal priorities to get buried. You can remember your purpose with the help of short-term goals. You can keep sight of your dreams while continuing to work to earn a paycheck and be able to take care of your family,

They break down bigger goals. Big projects can be overwhelming. Using daily action plans can make them less daunting. When you use them, you can pick out a couple of steps that are worthwhile and can complete each day. When you continue to build some momentum, you will be able to continue moving towards your goal.

You create a sense of urgency. If you have a year to accomplish something, what happens? You will tend to procrastinate. You can move yourself forward with tighter deadlines.

Adapt to change quicker. You may have to change or modify your goals or strategy at times. When you are working in 24-hour blocks, you can solve any conflicts before they become a lot more serious.

Daily goals usage

Your values are clarified. Your goals are more satisfying and more compelling when they align with your core values. Think about what you really do want out of your life.

Your strengths are better used. Take advantage of your skills and talents when you design your goals. Determine what you are good at and what you like to do. You can aim towards targets that are more realistic for you when you understand your own abilities.

Positive thinking. Rather than trying to avoid something, identify what you want to do. You will be more motivated and have less anxiety when you use positive statements.

Taking control. Your desired end is from an outcome goal while the steps you take to get there are from process goals. You may encounter obstacles if you are trying to become an Olympic athlete. You can still choose a sport, look for a coach and begin your training.

Write things down. Your plans become more concrete when you write them down. A pen and paper is best, but you can use a computer application.

Distractions can be avoided. When you adjust your habits and your environment, you can maximize your productivity. You can reduce the times you check your phone, keep your desk clean and turn off the television.

Take some breaks. Downtime is important. Find a routine that will work for you. Move around and shift your attention during your time off.

Learn. You can learn how your performance can be enhanced from your setbacks. Take responsibility and focus on the the things that you can do differently the next time you are in that situation.

Reward yourself. When you feel like you are in a slump, you can renew your enthusiasm by giving yourself an incentive. Pick something that you are willing to work for, either a small or large treat.

Seek help from others. Ask others for support and some constructive feedback. You can also find an accountability partner, someone who is trying to achieve a similar objective is best.

Keep yourself healthy. Keeping fit will help you to protect your physical and psychological health. Eat well, exercise and get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep to help you manage stress.

You can be happier and more productive just by having goals. Make this an ongoing process to help transform your life. Set daily goals and keep trying to reach them daily.

A DIY Goal Setting Program

2023-01-01 ~ adminlife

There are many methods to set and achieve your goals to make your life the best ever.

You can dream about what you want to achieve and hope that what you need will suddenly appear and you will be swiftly taken to the great life.

You could also attend a seminar or webinar and try to follow the advice that was given to everyone in attendance. This could be successful if you can maintain the motivation that you came away from the seminar with over the course of achieving your goal.

Another method is entering a self-directed program designed by a Life Coach that provides you with materials and guidance to set and achieve your goals. You still need to maintain your own motivation during the time that you are working on your goals, but if the course is designed properly, this is a little easier. While this is still not the perfect method it is at least a guided method that can help you on your goal path.

The best method is working with a Life Coach either one-on-one or in a group setting. Here you get the benefit of being able to ask questions about things you may not understand. You can also get feedback on your plan and methods that can keep you on track. You also get an external source of motivation to keep you going. While the best motivation is internal, having an external source to boost you up can help.

Ideally I would like you to join one of my coaching programs so that I can be your guide to success.

But I know that many of you are hesitant of working with a Life Coach one-on-one, even though many successful business people, entertainers and sports start use them in their own lives.

To help you, I have designed a Group Coaching program that you can learn more about here:

Croup Coaching Program link – https://coachmichaelw.com/Group_coaching/

If that program is still not for you, I have put together a DIY program that includes the material to determine what area of your life to work on, what your goal should be and how to design a plan to achieve that goal. This program also includes a Journal to help keep you motivated. When you write in a journal, you can see your progress.

Not to leave you completely on your own, I have also included an email life-line to ask me questions about your plan.

You can find out more and purchase the program at:

DIY Coaching Program link – https://coachmichaelw.com/diy-goal-setting-program/

Again, while I believe that actually working with a Life Coach is the best method to achieve your goals, this DIY program can really help you especially with the email support I have included.

Don’t just wish for your goals to be achieved. Take the necessary steps to actually achieve them.

Nothing happens in life until action is taken. Take that action now.

To your success.

Why Other People Stop You From Being Successful

2022-12-28 ~ adminlife

There will be people who try to stop you from making changes in your life. Some may believe that they are actually trying to help you because they want you to stay as you are. This means that they feel comfortable because they are not improving themselves.

If you want to succeed, it can be very frustrating to find out that a lot of people are not actually on your side. You have to manage this if you do want to succeed.

If you would like to listen to these types of articles, you can visit my podcasts atThese are short, usually under 5 minutes but they can enable you to listen to confidence and motivation advice and tips while driving or relaxing.

How others can derail your path to success.

Your past failures are always mentioned. In the past, we have all failed. In an attempt to sabotage your success efforts, these people will bring up those past failures.

- Your goal is to climb all of the 14,000+ high peaks in the US. A friend may remind you that at a past summer camp you couldn’t climb the 2,000 foot peak. They may tell you that you should change your goal to something more reasonable.

They want you to feel guilty. Another weapon they use is to make you feel guilty. Using the mountain climbing goal, they may tell you that travelling is expensive and you should save the money for your child’s education. They could also tell you to spend the time required with your family.

Distraction. They may tell you that you should take a vacation with them and forget the mountains.

These are the least devious ways that the people try to sabotage your efforts. Why do they do this? They may present it as a way that is supportive even though it is not.

Why do those people close to you sabotage your efforts toward success?

They are comfortable with being mediocre. They have to deal with the facts that they have not done something amazing like you. This makes them feel that they are life losers. It is a lot easier to hold you back than to deal with their own fear, insecurity and laziness.

They are jealous. Some people are jealous of your success. Others may be happy to see you achieve success, like winning a lottery or lose weight. People will try to stop you and if they can’t stop you they will try to make your success feel diminished.

They may say that they could lose weight if they had as much free time as you do.

They don’t like changes. People are getting something from you or else they wouldn’t associate with you. Any changes you make threatens the status quo. If you change and become something different what does that leave them.

If you stay the same, it is easier for them.

What you need to do, in the face of all of these objections is to commit yourself to bring successful. You may want to remove the worst of the offenders from your life. Life is difficult enough without having your own friends and family trying to make it even more difficult.

Make sure that you commit to your goals for the right reason. Achieving them to impress others is a shallow reason. You have to do it for yourself.

You should consider keeping your bigger goals to yourself so that you. Will get less push back and resistance from others. You don’t have to wait for the approval of others, just choose what is best for you and go after it.

Your dreams come true in the right environment

2022-11-09 ~ adminlife

Even though people have dreams and aspirations, not many people actually achieve their goals. You are more likely to achieve your goals when you have a supportive environment and are surrounded by positive influences.

You can create an environment that will help your dreams to come true.

Supportive people. It is very challenging to keep yourself motivated to achieve your dreams if you are surrounded by people who keep telling you that you will never achieve them. You need to find people who support and encourage you to be around.

Your happiness, health and a longer life are increased when you spend time with like-minded people.
When things get tough, you are less likely to give up and will feel more confident when you know that people who believe in you are around.
With a supportive group of people it will be easier to achieve your goals by being able to get feedback on your ideas.
Keep your space to support you achieving your dreams that is not cluttered and chaotic. When your space is unorganized it is challenging to focus on your goals.
Be inspired by your surroundings. It is easier to achieve your dreams when you are in a positive environment.
Make your space reflect your goals. Get rid of your snacks if you are trying to lose weight. Create a writing space if you want to write a book.
You should feel good in your environment. It is a lot easier to achieve your goals when you are in an environment that aligns with the goals you are trying to achieve

Think positive. Thinking positively is an important part of achieving your dreams. You are much more likely to succeed when you have a belief in your ability and yourself. You need to surround yourself with positive messages and affirmations.

Boost your positive mindset with daily positive affirmations. These simple messages can make a big difference in your attitude.
Write down and review your goals often. You can stay more focused and motivated when you see your goals written down.
Create your vision board. These images, quotes and any other things that inspire you will constantly remind you of your goals and keep you on track.
Keep your self-talk positive. Put any negative thoughts into a positive light.
Deal with any past trauma. It is essential that any past trauma be dealt with in a healthy manner. You will be held back from success in achieving your dreams if you hold on to any anger, resentment or pain from the past.
Get professional help to deal with your emotions and release the past. It is easier to reach your goals when you release any past trauma.

Take care of yourself. To achieve your dreams, you must take care of your physical, mental and emotional health. You have to eat right, exercise and get enough sleep.

You also need to have some time for yourself to relax and remove any stress. You have the energy and the focus when you take care of yourself to achieve your goals.

Make your goals realistic. Your goals need to be achievable. You will be setting yourself up to be disappointed if you set your goals too high. Break larger goals into smaller, manageable pieces. Set a realistic timeline to achieve your goals and take the steps necessary to achieve them.

Create your action plan. You have to create a plan of action to achieve your goals once they are set. It may be a challenge to achieve your goals so you need to put the steps you need to take into your timeline. Move closer to your goals by taking action every day.

To achieve your dreams it is essential to create an environment that will support your dreams. Set realistic goals and make sure to take care of yourself. Continue to take action to move you towards your goals while in your positive space. Doing these things will get you closer to achieving your dreams.
